The Martian was easily my favourite standalone book of last year, and it looks like the film has a lot of potential. But since this is Ridley Scott......I remember the Prometheus trailer being infinitely better than the film (side note: Prometheus is much more enjoyable if you see the film through the androids eyes viewing all the humans around him as idiots....which they all are!)

From the look of the trailer, the crew will be getting as much focus as Mark Watney played by Matt Damon, which is potentially a slightly different spin from the book.

As the film isn't out until November, that's loads of time to read the book, which really isn't as complex as many would suggest.
